.ASTERN REALITIES.

EASTERN BEAUTIES.
A genuine American never fails i'll his
devotion to the ladies, this being trait
as peculiar to the Yankee as it is said to
be to the Frenchman. Being devoted
adherent of the stars and stripes, the
author shows equal devotion to the fair
sex, and with his devotion combines the
critical taste for beauty we'll described
in the following paragraph. which may
be considered bit of expert testimony
in regard to the respective merits of the
Circassian and the Georgian:
1.-The Georgian has a beauty quite
different from that of the Circassian.
The Circassian is dazzling. queenlike
and stately. She has fair skin. She
is elegant in form. She is kindly and
gentle in voice, but lazy in movement
and without spirit. One of her own sex
has said: There is no soul in Circas-
sian beauty: and as she pillows her
pure, pale cheek upon her small dimpled
hand you feel no inclination to arouse
her into eXertion; you. are cOntented
to look upon her and to cOntem-
plate her lOveliness.' The Georgian
is a creature with eyes like meteOrs and
teeth almost as dazzling as her eyes.
Her mouth does not wear the sweet and
unceasing smile of her less vivacious
rival. But the proud expression that
sits upon her finely arched lips accOrds
so we'll with her stately form and lofty
brow that you do not seek to change its
character
All of which is very fine in its way.
but the author has to descend to actual
facts before he gets much further along.
He speaks of the Turkish ladies Oh the
isle. The story proceeds:
1.-The other evening these ladies were
mounted and in blithesome mood. The
donkey driver is a Greek and frolicsome.
The ladies were arbitrary, and on their
request the driver pushed the animals
up hill and down dale. The riders
screamed and laughed" 4
The lady who drops TO the rear is de-
scribed as having dark melting eyes,
eyebrows of faultless arch-and arch
ways. She sat upon her animal like
have ever sat upon donkey, except
metaphOrically. | believe |

MOUNT OLYMPUS.
The neighbOrhoOd abounds with rel
les of the former Greek occupation.
Your boatman will be named Miltiades,
your porter Xenophon; Pericles will
bring your dinner; Themistocles will
brush your clothes, and in all probable
ity you will be shaved by DemOsthenes.
The cities, the mountains, the valleys,
the ruins of temples. of villages, of for
mer great commercial centers, all still
bear the names by which they were
known 2,00G years ago. Even the Home
of the Gods goes by its ancient name.

der in the first degree. There is mon
astery on the Gulf of C0rinth, under the
shadow of an Overhanging Drcclpice.
There are the mOnasterieS of MeteOra
and Mount AthOs, both remarkable for
their wild inaccessibility.
Many of the converts in Syria and
the islands of the Archipelago are as
ISOLATED with those of the Princes Isl
ands, as unrivaled for the beauty of
their position and the SplendOr of their
surroundings. Besides there are many
others in Bulgaria. Asia Minor, Sinope
and other places of the EuXine, which
remain as curious monuments
of a wonderful era, when
men sought exile in strange
places from the eventful social life.
CurZOn. whose "MOnaSterieS of the Le-
want is still read. found one in Persia.

odd gardens adjoining the buildings,
displaying the horticultural intelligence

pearance of has relief against the wall.
He calls it large swallow nest. There
are other hermitageS of the same de-
scTiptiOn among the precipiceS Of the
Jordan. These houses lie studies be-
cause they are the most ancient Speci-
mems Of domestic architecture, next
after the houses of POmpeii. Their an
tiQuity is illustrated by mOnaSterieS on
Mount Sinai, at Cairo, at the head Of the
Euphrates, and wherever the Greek
faith prevailed. They date back to the
fifth and sixth centuries, with cOntem-
pOraneOuS relics and crosses of rare
workmanship. Illustrative of the pecu-
liar art of those early periods"
MONKISII ABSTINENCE.
Much pleasant chat follows with re-
gard to the hospitality and other good
qualities of the monks, and some pleas
ing, rehashed information is given
from CurzOn's visit to the mOnasteries
of the East, but the following story con-
corning mOnkish abstinence is given,
which is good, if not new:
Il have read story of famous
monk-I think he was of Alexandria.
He belonged TO the early day-perhapS
in the fourth century. He went through
all the austeritieS of the desert, and
wound up in one of the cells OH the
borders of the Matron lakes. He was
followed by many of his faith. They
lived separately. but they assembled to-
gether on Sunday and had sort of
prayer-meeting. They were totally alb
Stinent. A tourist gave the saint
bunch of grapes. He sent it to another
brother: that other brother sent it to a
third brother; at last the grapes passed
through the hands of some hundreds,
and came back to the saint. He was
happy in the abstinence of his breth
rem, but he refused TO eat himself.
This was the same saint who killed a
knat that was biting him. 1t made him
so unhappy that he retired to a marsh
where the flies had immense power
equal to a Jersey mosquitO-but he
stood the lnsectivorous infiction like a
heightened. chivalric, middleaged,
manly monk. His Lody was 50 much
disfigured when he went back to the

mer fancies upon enchanted isles, must
have heard of these dOnkeyS of Pink

Here Mr.. Cox becomes reminiscent.
He says:
Il am inclined to tell story at the
risk of incredulity. When in Egypt, in
the winter of 1886, the donkey | rode
which was named SardanapaluS. be-
cause he Jared so sumptuOuSly-bec
overweary on one long ride TO the temple
of AbvdOS. on the border of the desert.
He was taken to the cool chambers and
hitched amidst the cyclopean pillars.
Under the very eye of painted RAJ
meses he hung up his head by his upper
teeth to ledge of the structure and
thus rested. thought at first he was
fascinated by Une uOuDle-cTONIdu klilS

trivance of his own to hold up his
heavy head"

of a iackaSs the sequence is bear. Mr..
Cox does not forget the bear.

tives with a member from Nevada. He
has since been minister to the Sandwich

ness before the committee he on one

ely bear and a jackaSS. The idea that
the grizzly had failed in the contest
gave great satisfaction to the foreign

OverWOrk her.
Q"Greek monks, however, like those of
the Roman Catholic church, do not
marry, and in order to remove as far as
possible from the temptations of the
world, usually locate their monasteries
in almost inaccessible places.
The mOnaSterieS in all parts of an
cient Greece, as well as modern Greece,
including those of the Princes Islands,
were always built on elevations. In
this the modern Greeks copy their
pagan ancestors, who consecrated with
temples the highest peaks: The Acrop-
oils was always especially hOnored. In
fact, there are upon Mount Olympus to-
day, as well as upon Mount Ida, monaS-
teries whose cells are beautiful in their
ruins. When the snow meltS upon
Olympus there are traces of the con-
vents yet to be seen.
1.-The inacceSsibility of some of these
monasteries is beyond description.
There is one known as the Convent of
the Pulley. 1t is on the banks of
the Nile. You approach it through the
rocks, or rather you are received by the

THE ISLAND DONKEY.
Although the Isles of the Princes are
located in the Sea of MarmOla, within a
few miles of the Empire of the East, the
transition from city to country life is
very marked. No part of the book is.
perhaps. more entertaining than the
pages which depict sunrise on Prinkipo.
After glowing description of the beau

mendous fall from the sublime to the

When ut this very minute they're
All six upon my hands?

And quite as decollete

But spite or that and Paris gowns
They still are on the hooks;
Sometimes l wonder if I've made q
A terrible mistake
In trainin up my girls TO do
All things for Fashions sake.
They think there's no one good enough
They all want men that's rich;
They want 10 live in palaces,
And never take stitch;
They'd hang upon me all the days
OF all their their natural lives
Before they'd settle down TO be
Honest but poor mems wives.
And if a man were brave enough
To capture one perchance
